[GRAPHIC: Ask Super Lawyers. How do I get a lump sum settlement for my injury in Pennsylvania? Attorney Mitchell Dugan responds.]

Mitchell Dugan: Oftentimes, people call me interested in a lump-sum settlement of their case. Now obviously it depends on their case, whether or not they were injured at work or suffered an injury due to the negligence of somebody outside of work, such as a car accident, for example. However, in either situation, you want to call your attorney as quickly as possible, or hire an attorney as quickly as possible. Attorneys are on their side. We fight for what they deserve. Whether it's a negligence case or a work injury, we want to get the medical records, but we know the law and we want to contact the insurance adjustors and attempt to settle the case. There's no fee unless we get the money or benefits they deserve. We know what we're doing. This is what we do. Insurances companies know what they're doing. This is what they do. This is not something that anybody should do on their own.
